Grand Theft Auto V App Is Available
In short advance of tomorrow's launch of Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar has released a free iOS app that lets you customize your car, among other things.
Grand Theft Auto: iFruit lets you customize the look of your car as well as upgrade it courtesy of Los Santos Customs, and it will be waiting for you when you turn on the game. The app can be used to create and reserve custom license plates for GTA V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
It also contains Chop the Dog, where you will virtually care for Franklin's pet dog, Chop. Take care of him well in the app, and in game he'll earn you credits (which you can exchange for new collars), be more responsive, perform tricks, and even find you hidden items when you take him out for a walk in the game.
The app is now available on on iOS for free. An Android version is expected soon.

Our Take:
As more and more games utilize apps to further the experience, do you prefer those that you use alongside you while you're playing the game, or those that work outside of it? I generally prefer the latter, like in this case.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
